My Thoughts on Cleaning

Growing up my mom always had weird cleaning chores I had to do- clean the baseboards down the hall, wash the clothes washer and dryer, sweep the outside stairs to a door we rarely used, or remove the books from our shelves to dust. "What?!?!? Why do we need to have our baseboards clean in the hall?" People say we turn into our parents and here I am- I have turned into my mother! I clean the baseboards in the bathroom, I wipe down our washer and dryer when they get dirty, and I sweep our outside porch even though we rarely go out there. Just recently I washed out our kitchen trashcan! I wait until the end of the day to take out the trash and I honestly don't like to put new trash in it once I have taken it out. But I haven't started dusting yet! I probably will sometime in my life but I just don't see the point. Sure it is nice for a day but then it is dusty again. If I am standing there and I notice something is dusty- I will just wipe it off with my hand and that is about it.

Mom- I love you- I bet you didn't think while I was growing up that one day I would make my bed. Give yourself a pat on the back because I usually do now!

Talking about FAB

Today I was driving down the street toward Target and all was quiet in the car- weird! As I drove I was thinking about a funny story about finding a balance.
So here it is: Kaley loves to watch movies and cartoons. One day, after a substantial time of watching t.v., I told Kaley she needed to turn it off. "Why?" she asked. "Well, we need to have a balance in our lives. We can't just watch t.v. all the time," I explained. So now when I ask her to turn the t.v. off she often will ask me, "Do we have balance in our lives?" I have to giggle a little bit to hear that coming from a 3 year old.
